Dr. Erika Stump is leading an on-going, multi-year study examining implementation of Maine's proficiency-based diploma policy. This past year's research included leaders in Maine's career technical education (CTE) centers. Educate Maine recently released a policy brief on this topic, sharing findings from MEPRI's research: "High schools need to coordinate master schedules to give CTE equal priority to academic courses, and to ensure that participating in a CTE program of study does not limit students from taking college preparatory or Advanced Placement courses."
